I can see the future. People losing or breaking the bottom then try to ducttape it.

Awesome innovations. Kudos to LG.
Other smartphone companies choose to compromise.
LG choose to innovate.
See the difference?

I gotta a feeling that this year will be LG's year :D thinking out of the box , some might say a gimmick others will say it's not innovation, well the second display on v10 was very useful and all oem's will copy lg's Manual video mode just like they copied the double knock and the back volume buttons, proud of lg regardless the annual profits :)

AnonD-265082, 13 Jan 2016This is going to break and make the phone flimsy. LG should... moreI highly disagree with you, I don't know the exact number but it must be more than what you have claimed about the number of people caring about the removable battery.
at least for me,it's important because it makes the smartphone more repairable, thus you have to pay less if it breaks apart.

You're never out of battery (got a spare?) , you never need to wait for the phone to charge (a spare was charging while the phone was used), you never worry of the battery dying in you.
I don't know if my position is biased, but a lot of people around me use removable batteries. In the era of smartphones replacing your computer and phone for most of the thing is important to have the battery issue solved.
I *certainly* hope that what I see around me is more indicative than your percentage, because your percentage implies that quite many of the smartphone users are mentally challenged (especially those complaining about low battery after having bought a phone with sealed battery).

LG should... moreIt is more than 1% that cares, and a proven way to compete against a larger competitor is to cater to the market the large competitor doesn't care about (frequently accepting lower profit margins than the large competitor will accept). This is the same way Samsung competes with Apple.
And it won't make the phone flimsy. This is the same design as Nokia's N8, and my Nokia N8 is indestructible.

AnonD-265082, 13 Jan 2016Looks very familiar. A Samsung phone did this. I think the ... moreTrue, but then HTC beat Samsung to the punch with the Legend.
Now that I think it, that glass front and back with a metal rim......I'm sure u saw that somewhere else prior to the S6 as well...........???
Anyway........what was your point again?

AnonD-22614, 13 Jan 2016Removable batteries are handy when you're always on the go.... moreSwapping battery out and in is dumb. Get yourself a life and stop living on your phone. I have a Nexus 6p and it last me all day on normal use.

Then you can just pop off the bottom and remove/replace the battery and snap the bottom piece into place.. it's really innovative and it's awesome that they're going out of their way to do something like that.. That way if you're battery ever malfunctions you can just pop in a new one. Beats having to go through customer service...
